Honorary "Colonel Aide de Camp" to the Governor of the commonwealth of Kentucky. The highest honor of the U.S. state of Kentucky is "Colonel Aide de Camp". These colonels serve as the personal aides-de-camp to the governor of Kentucky, and their appointments are recorded by the Secretary of State of Kentucky.
Goodwill ambassador of the Kentucky state. A Kentucky Colonel is traditionally considered a goodwill ambassador of the Kentucky state, culture, folklore, traditions and values (Wright, David (February 25, 2021) [1998]. "Kentucky Colonel, Since 1775". Kentucky Colonelcy. Office of the Colonelcy). The distinction of Kentucky colonel entitles the recipient to "discharge their duties" with the honorable title as a "colonel" and is denoted through the issuance of letters patent with the official dutiful designation as a good-will ambassador (Wright, David (March 5, 2021). "Homepage (Index)". Kentucky Colonelcy. American Colonels Network. Retrieved March 5, 2021). Other US states also have similar civilian awards that denote the role of goodwill ambassador which are well-recognized, including that of the Tennessee Colonel, Rhode Island Commodore, Nebraska Admiral, Order of the Longleaf Pine, Arkansas Traveler, Yellow Rose of Texas, and Sagamore of the Wabash ( Grundhauser, Eric (November 8, 2017). "You Can't Be Knighted in the U.S., But You Can Be Named a Sagamore of the Wabash". Atlas Obscura. Retrieved January 16, 2020).
